Chosen
Chosen explores the internal vow that you are exactly where you’re meant to be—that your path, while uncertain, is yours for a reason. At the heart of the composition is an abstract green figure, forward-facing, with a vivid eye looking inward and ahead. This eye is not searching for something outside—it’s anchored in its own direction, its own knowing.
Behind the figure, a shadowy black presence looms. Ambiguous in form, it represents the haunting question mark we all carry—the doubts, distractions, or comparisons that try to pull us backward. Yet in this work, the black figure is not the focus. It lingers behind, unformed and without clarity, while the green figure is alive with purpose.
The brushwork is expressive and unrefined by design. Distorted strokes create movement, echoing the emotional turbulence that often surrounds moments of decision and personal alignment. There’s tension here—but it’s purposeful. The composition is slightly unbalanced, visually and emotionally, drawing the viewer into the same uncertainty the figure confronts. That lack of symmetry forces us to sit with the discomfort, then notice the quiet steadiness of the green.
Color plays a crucial role. Green evokes growth, clarity, and renewal. It feels intentional, almost sacred. Black, by contrast, absorbs light and clarity—suggesting what we must leave behind in order to move forward.
The textures of the oil paint build the story even further. Some areas are thick and visceral, others thin and ghost-like. These contrasts mimic the process of realization—how sometimes clarity comes in sharp bursts, and other times as quiet knowing.
